I have the mp3 but this won't stop me buying the official release when it comes out. I have to have a physical copy to keep my collection up to date and the low bitrate mp3 I have, will only serve as a pre-release taster for the final release.

nor will i buy off amazon, no matter what the price difference...unless i cannot find one around here...or the package offers alot of extra stuff

i cannot even seeing myself downloading a boot that is not or probably has no chance of being released. : there's enough stuff out there, right now, one could easily put together quite a selection of stuff not available...but i just can't quite cross that ethical line...guess i'm a little too old fashioned to, basically, rip any artist off like that

now...just listening/streaming...like i already do off youtube and other places ??

probably.

maybe...but my psyche will not, at this time, tolerate me not buying the physical form...heck...i won't even buy a kindle, and i read alot !

i need a book/magazine/newspaper, not a gizmo

at the end of the end it's the start of a journey to a much better place and this wasn't bad so a much better place would have to be special...no need to be sad...

Already have a poordownload of the album on my computer - wanted to hear it. Stil I will buy a physical copy probably the deluxeedition. Generally I don t download or stream much music since I own so many records. In this case I wanted to hear the sound of the album(great if you ask me) since it already was out.The record -the way I grew up with is dead. My two sons - in their twenties would hardly dream of buing a record and the same goes for most people . All the deluxeeditions of old albums target buyers like me - middleaged with some money.Anyway - music will always be there and I for one is happy to have lived through the golden age of LP:s and even cd:s.Funny titled almum Maccas new one don t you think - still it s a great vocalalbum .

I echo Mr. H's sentiments exactly. I personally LOVE the "old" LP's and such. I am a big fan of the vinyl medium. Not to say I don't have 8-tracks, casssettes, VHS, DVD's but I am a fan of the vinyl. I will buy this album even if I only listen to it once just to have it in the COLLECTION.
